Page 4 BIKE TRANSPORT BRATS MISSION STATEMENT BRATS is proud of the addition of a bike carriers attached to the front bumpers of several of the BRATS buses which allows riders to easily store bicycles on the bus for cycling activities once they reach their destination. Make sure to notify the scheduler that you will need transport by a vehicle with a bike rack to ensure transport of the bike. Each carrier can hold up to two adult-size two wheel bikes. The bike racks only contacts the bikes’ tires, reducing any potential damage to a loaded bike. It is the passenger’s responsibility to load and unload their bike however these are the proper steps: Loading: 1. It is very important to get the driver's attention before you load or unload your bike. 2. As the bus approaches, have your bike ready to load. Remove water bottles, pumps or any loose items that may fall off. 3. Always load from the curb side of the street. 4. Squeeze the handle and pull down to release the folded bike rack. 5. Lift your bike onto the rack, fitting wheels into the slots. Each slot is labeled for front and rear wheels. Please load your bike in the outside slot first, if vacant. Raise and release the support arm over the top of the front tire. Make sure the support arm is resting on the tire and not the fender or frame. Unloading: 1. Raise the support arm off the tire. Move the support arm down, out of your way. 2. Lift your bike out of the rack. 3. Return the rack to the upright position if there isn't another bike on the rack. 4. If you forget to retrieve your bike or the driver pulls away before you've unloaded it, please call BRATS at (251) 972-6817. 5. BRATS is not responsible for theft and damage due to improper loading, unloading or securing. 6. Bikes should not be locked to bike rack. 6. Page 24 IT IS THE GOAL OF THE BRATS PROGRAM TO OFFER SAFE, AFFORDABLE, AND RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION TO THE CITIZENS OF BALDWIN COUNTY IN ORDER TO HELP PROMOTE A STRONG ECONOMY, PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT, CONSERVE ENERGY, AND ENHANCE OUR LIVES. INTRODUCTION BRATS has a ZERO tolerance policy for substance abuse, harassment, discrimination and is an equal opportunity employer. We at the Baldwin Area Transportation System are very proud of our service to the Baldwin County community. Our fleet of vehicles transport individuals to daily appointments, to shop, buy groceries or just visit with friends and neighbors. Among the types of routes we offer are: Dial-A-Ride, work routes, routes to kidney dialysis, physical therapy, and cancer treatments, routes for the Association for Retarded Citizens (ARC), and to Baldwin County Mental Health. Providing work transportation for our citizens is very important to us, and we have been able to establish many types of work routes in our on-going efforts to serve. Our regular routes and work routes are developed as the demand dictates. Route types include those driven by workers at the business and paid for by the riders; routes driven by BRATS drivers and billed to the business monthly; routes driven by BRATS drivers with weekly tickets purchased in advance by the passengers. Also, we are often able to provide transportation to work via our Central Transfer and/or Express Routes—with careful planning. Work Routes are very popular with both employees and employers because they have proven to get people to work on time and to have great tax benefits. Any interested businesses are encouraged to contact BRATS for details. BRATS has received numerous awards for outstanding service from our National, State, Regional, and County Governments, as well as recognition for our efforts toward environmental protection. HISTORY AND BACKGROUND In 1987, the Baldwin County Commission identified a growing need for public transportation. With a (then) population of 80,000 in a geographical area of 1,600 square miles, and no major urban population, the need was real and often critical. To put the kind of program needed into action, funding was established by a Federal Transportation Administration grant and administered by Alabama Department of Transportation. With the purchase of three used vans from Community Action, and the hiring of two drivers, BRATS began service to the county. The growth was everything and more than was expected, serving all points of our county in various ways. BRATS has managed to stay abreast of citizens’ needs as the county population grew from that original 80,000 when we started, to the present 182,000. From our very beginning to the successful program we have become, our goal of excellence in service has remained uppermost in our thoughts. We do truly believe that BRATS belongs to the Baldwin County community. HOW WE WORK BRATS makes every effort to serve the needs of all the citizens of Baldwin County. Since our buses cross and re-cross the entire county, the chances are excellent that one of our regular routes will be just what you need. If one of the regular routes is not going where and when you need to go, we will work hard to accommodate you with other planning. All passengers from health care facilities, nursing homes and assisted living residences are required to be accompanied by an assistant. There is no charge for the assistant, with regular fare for the passenger. Page 6 DISABILITY ACCESSIBILITY We are proud of the fact that we are able to furnish reliable, reasonably priced transportation for our county citizens with disabilities that restrict mobility. The lifts and wheelchair securement systems designed for our vehicles are easy to operate and make transporting passengers a very simple matter. All vehicles are equipped with grab rails, and 8-10 inch steps which are well-lighted and striped. Most lifts are 30” wide, but a few vehicles are equipped with lifts which are 33” wide. The lifts are designed to support a total of 600 pounds. If you have a special type of wheelchair which will require a lift wider than 30”, please advise our scheduler when you set up your trip. When scheduling a ride, give 24 hours notice, inform us of your special needs, and we will be happy to send the proper vehicle to accommodate your needs. For door-to-door service, your home ramp must meet safety specifications, or you will be required to meet the driver at the curb. The safety specifications for home ramps states that they must be a least 36” wide, and that the maximum slope is 1:12 (it must have only a 1” rise for every 12” of incline). Further, the ramp must be constructed of decking boards installed crosswise for traction, and must have guard rails on each side. The driver is able to assist with normal boarding and de-boarding. If further assistance is needed, be prepared to have someone accompany you. There is no charge for one assistant to ride. Our transit agency requires that all mobility devices be secured when being transported and have working brakes for the safety of all passengers. The definition of a wheelchair is a mobility device with 3 or 4 wheels that does not exceed 30 inches in width and 48 inches in length and does not weight more than 600lbs when occupied. The device may be operated manually or powered. If your mobility devices and/or ramps don’t meet the above requirements, due to safety concerns we will request that these items be brought up to standards to eliminate safety hazards.

Page 8 *** RIDERS GUIDE *** TRAVEL ON THE EASTERN SHORE On Demand Response routes, drivers can only wait at your residence for three minutes. Please be prompt, as the driver must be able to pick up the next passenger on time. Because of unpredictable traffic and weather — you must allow for a 30 minute variation in pick-up time. For example, if your scheduled pick-up time is 9:00 AM, you will be picked up anytime between 8:45 AM and 9:15 AM. When making your appointments, please take this fact into consideration. Our drivers can perform only ordinary assistance in boarding and de-boarding. Ordinary assistance is defined as opening of a door, helping with packages and offering of an arm. All Personal Care Assistants must be a minimum of 18 years old and must have the ability to assist the passenger with all of their needs. A passenger is limited to one Personal Care Assistant. BRATS offers door to door service meaning we do not enter homes and there is limit of three steps, so passengers please have a friend or family member accompany you if you need assistance. No additional charge will be made for the Personal Care Assistant to accompany the passenger. All nursing homes or assisted-living passengers must be accompanied by an Personal Care Assistant. Parcels are allowed if the passenger can reasonably carry and control the parcel. The passenger must be able to get the parcel(s) on and off the vehicle in one trip, stabilize it, and control it through the transit trip.
